Over the years Bobbi Brown has become not only one of my favourite beauty brands but my favourite high-end brand. With products that are always simply yet beautifully packaged, perfect formulas and natural finishes whilst having incredible longevity, Bobbi Brown is a brand I can rely on when it comes to makeup.

When Willow turned 1 I decided that quarterly updates would be better than monthly, and so it's been 3 months since I last updated you on my sassy little girl. A lot has happened in that time, changes and developments which have made my heart swell and this little person who was once my 8lbs 8oz baby is now a toddler. A toddler!

Yesterday I shared exfoliating lip treatments from GLAMGLOW, but today I wanted to concentrate on exfoliating facial pads from Nip + Fab. I used to be very one-product-only when it came to facial exfoliation, only having tried what I like to call 'manual exfoliators'; lotions and creams with exfoliating beads or ground nut shells that honestly did my skin more harm than good.

In my early 20's, through blogging no less, I came across chemical exfoliators, exfoliating toners, pads and serums, even exfoliating night creams, and I much prefer the way my skin looks and feels without needing to manually scrub something into my skin. An incredibly quick and easy way to exfoliate is by using facial pads, which can be used both morning and night, and Nip + Fab have a huge range, well loved by skincare adorers on all budgets.

GLAMGLOW may be most well known for their range of face masks, loved by beauty adorers and celebrities worldwide, but it's the new lip treatment range which has me most excited! Featuring four products and treatments, the new lip treatment range covers everything you need for exfoliating, moisturising, hydrating and priming lips, whether you want that perfect smooth base for lipstick application or a little bit of TLC for your lips, this is one range worth splurging on.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves the way Christmas gift sets allow you to try a whole host of different products and brands, and sometimes you might even be so lucky to find a new favourite product that becomes a very welcome addition to your everyday routine. That's how I feel about Laura Geller, after trying the Laura Geller So Scrumptious 6 Piece Full Size Colour Collection, which I featured in my Christmas with Laura Geller gift guide. There are a few products from the set - which is still available by the way -, that I have really enjoyed using and have become regulars in my routine.

Make Up Forever is a brand which constantly gets mentioned by beauty gurus on YouTube. Everyone raves about their products, especially the longevity, and I've been eager to try them for quite some time. Make Up Forever have been available in the UK for a couple of years now and over the past few months, I have been trying a couple of their most raved about products, starting with the Make Up Forever Pro Sculpting Face Palette.

I have wanted to try the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette for a long time, undoubtedly one of the most well-loved palettes in the beauty world. I'm a big fan of Too Faced as a brand and enjoy using their products, always impressed by the quality and formula, and thankfully, the Chocolate Bar palette turned out to be everything I hoped it would be.

Urban Decay is well loved for their eyeshadows, famous for their incredible Naked eyeshadow palettes (did you read my feature, are Urban Decay Naked palettes really worth the hype?) with buttery soft formulas, intense pigmentation and fab longevity. I'm a huge fan of their palettes, but most recently? I simply cannot get enough of the new Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Eyeshadow range.
